NEW CURE. NEW HOPE.

A child's own immune system has the potential to cure their cancer. Welcome to Strong Against Cancer, a team effort that includes leading experts and people like you who will make cancer immunotherapy treatment a reality. With you on our team, cancer doesn't stand a chance.

Congratulations and a big thank you to the ImmunoMomentum! Guild for raising over $150,000 at their fundraising event to support immunotherapy research for childhood cancer at Seattle Children's Hospital.

Calling all Jersey Mike's subs and sandwich lovers to take a big bite out of childhood cancer! Throughout the month of March visit your local Jersey Mike's to make a donation. Save the date for March 27th, Jersey Mike's "Day of Giving", where 100 percent of the day's sales will benefit Strong Against Cancer.

Avery

Avery Berg was diagnosed with a cancerous AT/RT brain tumor at age 10. After she braved six months of chemotherapy and radiation, Seattle Children’s neurosurgeons performed a highly challenging surgery that saved her life in January 2017.…

Milton

Milton Wright III has only worked at Seattle Children’s for a couple months, but the hospital has been his second home for much of his life. Wright’s childhood unfolded within Seattle Children’s walls — making friends, experiencing loss and facing death more times than he can count. Today, Wright is back at Seattle Children’s — not as a patient, but as an employee and a symbol of hope. “I want to do something that’s worthy of my life being saved,” Wright said.…

Camille

Derailed by leukemia as a sophomore in college, Camille Goodale went through standard chemo treatments, but her cancer returned a year and half later. After joining a Seattle Children’s CAR T immunotherapy trial and undergoing a bone marrow transplant, her cancer is now in remission.…

Erin

The worst day of Sarah and Antony Cross’ life was when they found out their 2-year-old daughter, Erin, had leukemia. “Erin endured years of chemotherapy, and we thought we had the cancer beat,” said Erin’s mother, Sarah…

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is the next great advancement in cancer treatment. Through cellular engineering, we enable the body’s own immune system to heal itself—without the harsh and often lifelong side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

How Immunotherapy Works

1

Blood Draw

We do a simple blood draw from a patient.

2

Reprogram T Cells

Using laboratory techniques, we reprogram the child's own T cells, training them to recognize enemy cancer cells.

The Results

Most patients see success within weeks.

Not only do most immunotherapy patients see their cancer quickly go into remission, the side effects of the treatment are less harmful than aggressive chemo or radiation. Finally, a more effective and gentle treatment for childhood cancer is within our reach. And we’re already seeing results: a recent Seattle Children’s pediatric leukemia clinical trial resulted in a 93% complete remission rate in children with relapsed leukemia.

Join the Team

We have the science. We have the track record. The momentum is growing. All we lack are the funds to bring this treatment to more young patients, more quickly. Will you join the Strong Against Cancer team? As Russell says, “Every donor can make a difference. Why not you?”
